The bill would also let doctors invoke their "personal, moralistic, or religious beliefs" in refusing to perform an elective vasectomy or prescribe Viagra, among other proposed requirements in the bill.

The law is meant as farce, but it misses the point because democrats always miss the point. I would never attempt to force someone to perform surgery on my body against their will. (1) Being compelled to act against your beliefs is slavery, and I'm not a democrat, so I consider slavery immoral. (2) Out of self-interest, I don't want someone cutting me open if they resent being forced to do so. Whether the morally problematic procedure is vasectomy or abortion, participation is an individual decision that only the doctor/nurse can make for themselves.

As for pretending that Viagra is a political issue, that's equally absurd. Innocent babies don't die from Viagra, just the reverse - sometimes they are born because of it. Also, Viagra is not a medical necessity; I would not be offended at an insurance plan that didn't cover that recreational medication. Car insurance doesn't provide loaner cars when we're on vacation, and I see no reason for medical insurance to cover even the most enjoyable of hobbies.

The distinction that she fails to understand is that no one is trying to prevent anything a woman does with an unfertilized egg, so creating a false dichotomy with sperm is just indicative of a failed education. The debate is about fertilized eggs (also known as a baby), and whether they, being human, are entitled to protection.
